Pros
- Exceptional flexibility to chart your own professional path, allowing you to focus heavily on technical delivery or pivot into management as you see fit.
- A wide variety of projects across different domains, offering plenty of opportunities to dive into interesting and impactful work.
- The day to day environment is elevated by genuinely friendly, intelligent, and collaborative coworkers.
Cons
- Recent significant reductions in force have taken a visible toll on the workforce, leaving many employees feeling jaded and worn down.
- As the work program contracts, there is a growing tendency to simply do whatever sponsors request rather than providing the objective, independent guidance the company is known for.
- The internal job market can be incredibly difficult to navigate. If you do not have a strong personal network within the company, finding billable work can feel almost impossible.
- The cultural environment is not uniform. Your overall job satisfaction will vary dramatically depending on the specific division or group you land in.
